Mr. Speaker, our government's primary objective is economic growth, job creation and long-term prosperity. For us to achieve that, workers need to have the skills that employers require and people who lose their jobs need support without fail. That is what the employment insurance system is there for. That is why we have instituted reforms to help people get back to work with the skills they need to succeed.
